lekstrom10k 0 #2 June 17, 2009 I get it as an early C-210 about 1961. It was a retractable C-182 with a C-206 engine and cowling. Let me know if I am right. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dks13827 3 #3 June 17, 2009 well, it does not look like the Ripcord 210 though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pchapman 279 #4 June 17, 2009 No way that's a Cessna - everything is a little different when one looks closely. Someone should be able to get it if they recognize lesser known light aircraft (especially those lesser known in the USA). Not me in this case. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No it was Mashonaland Skydiving and the first "trog" as it was known crashed on take-off with no serious injuries. One of the jumpers was thrown clear and claimed the record for the lowest exit/skydive in the club at aproximately 6 foot altitude. Even the 2nd plane seemed to need repairs more often than it flew. But yes it was very roomy and allowed people to spread out.Experienced jumper - someone who has made mistakes more often than I have and lived.
